Yang Guo listened to Huang Rong's words, his face was also full of shock, and he pointed to the red sleeves and said in surprise: "Brother Li, you said your sister?" She? ”

Li Xiang coughed dryly and said embarrassedly: "What's this...... To know your news from Miss Guo's mouth, you must first win her favor. And the easiest way to win her favor is to say a few bad things about you. I'm also a last resort, Brother Yang has a lot, I guess I won't mind, right? ”

Yang Guo couldn't laugh or cry when he said it, how could he be so reliant? When talking to Huang Rong, he was serious about "please forgive me for offending", but when I got to myself, it became "I guess I won't mind", what kind of person is this!

Who is Yang Guo? When I was a little beggar alone in Jiaxing, I was an expert in playing Laipi! How can Li Xiang be stumped now? Immediately, his face sank, and he said, "Brother Li has taken great pains to find us!" I don't care what you say about me, because I'm already infamous. It's just that Ling Mei is still young, wouldn't you ruin her reputation by doing this, so how will she face her future husband in the future? ”

Even if it was a close fight, the two of them cherished each other, but for some reason, they just had some wrong tempers, and Yang Guo's tone of voice was very impulsive, no different from before the fight.

This time, without waiting for Li Xiang to speak, Red Sleeves, who had been quiet and silent, stopped doing it first, and interjected softly: "Red Sleeves is just a maid bought by Gongzi, Gongzi is merciful and treats him as his own sister, but Red Sleeves himself does not dare to be pampered and arrogant." Since the son broke through under the siege of thousands of Mongols, regardless of his own safety, he was unwilling to abandon the red sleeves, and the red sleeves swore that he was willing to serve the son as a slave and a maid for the rest of his life, and the reputation of the girl or something, as long as the son didn't care, what did the red sleeves care about? ”

As soon as Red Sleeves said this, everyone knew that Li Xiang and Red Sleeves were not brothers and sisters. Especially Li Xiang once refused to give up a bought little maid under the siege of thousands of Mongolian troops, which is not something ordinary people can do. You must know that the person who mixes the rivers and lakes is not as hard-hearted as iron? A lowly little maid dies when she dies, and it is not worth risking her life to protect it. Those who can do this are naturally benevolent and righteous, and they are admirable.

Don't you know that Li Xiang's concept is very different from theirs, strictly speaking, he is not a Jianghu person at all, but the thinking of modern ordinary people. The life of the little maid, who is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the people in the rivers and lakes, is very precious in his opinion. She is only thirteen years old, still the age of flowers and bones, and she finally got out of the sea of suffering, shouldn't she protect her? If Li Xiang didn't have this ability, it would be fine, he could protect her but abandoned it, Li Xiang couldn't do it.

Under two different ways of thinking, Li Xiang did what he felt he should do, and in the eyes of Yang Guo and others, it became something worthy of admiration. Of course, there are some things that Li Xiang thinks doesn't matter, but in Yang Guo's eyes, they become despicable and shameless. For example, stealing "Congenital Gong", Li Xiang felt that it was a fool not to make money if he was cheap, and Yang Guo seemed to be a fool who did not pay attention to the morality of the rivers and lakes.

Since Li Xiang is such a "righteous" person, Yang Guo and the others have greatly improved their attitude towards him, and they went to dinner together. Huang Rong's cooking skills can be called the best in the world, although there is a lack of seasonings here, but just a simple barbecue, which makes everyone addicted to eating. After eating and drinking, Huang Rong suddenly said: "Brother Li, I came a little late, I just arrived here and saw that you and Guo'er had already started fighting, I don't know what you have to do with it?" ”

Li Xiang smiled: "I just want to find a master for my sister." My martial arts are not suitable for women to cultivate, the martial arts of the Tomb Sect and Peach Blossom Island are more suitable, and it just so happens that the disciples of these two factions walk together, so I found here. ”

Huang Rong said angrily: "I'm going to say a few words about you, since you can afford to look down on the martial arts of Peach Blossom Island, why did you avoid me when you were in Xiangyang?" Am I not a descendant of Peach Blossom Island? I can't teach your sister? ”

Li Xiang pondered for a moment before saying, "If you say something that is not afraid of offending you, you are really inappropriate." It's not that your martial arts are not enough, it's not that you don't know how to teach your disciples, but because you are Guo Daxia's wife. ”

Huang Rong understood what Li Xiang meant after thinking about it for a while, and said, "Are you afraid that your sister will also be trapped in Xiangyang and will not be able to get out?" ”

Li Xiang nodded and said, "That's right." Guo Daxia's righteous deeds are extremely admired by the world, but what I want to say is that you are just using the mantis arm as a car, and sooner or later you will be crushed into powder by the Mongolian army. If I didn't care about it, I gave up my life and followed Guo Daxia to participate in the righteous act, but I couldn't let my sister throw her life inside. She is a girl, there is no need to take on such a responsibility, she should live happily. ”

Huang Rong sighed and said, "You're right, I also want Fu'er, Xiang'er, and Po Lu to stay away from Xiangyang, but they are our children, and it is impossible to watch us fight against a strong enemy and stand idly by." But it's impossible for us to ignore Xiangyang, Brother Jing's temperament is not something that others can convince. ”

Li Xiang said: "There is a question that I have always been puzzled about, and today I said bluntly, Mrs. Guo does not blame me for being shallow and profound." ”

Huang Rong bowed her head and said: "Although Brother Li and I have only met for the first time, I can also see that Brother Li is an insightful person, and it doesn't hurt to speak up if there is any problem." ”

Li Xiang said: "I want to know, with your wisdom, madam, you don't know the consequences of Guo Daxia's insistence on going his own way, why haven't you thought of any other way?" This is a far cry from your wise man's name! ”

Huang Rong smiled bitterly: "Of course I thought about it, but ...... Alas, it's hard to put into words! ”

Seeing her like this, Li Xiang knew that there were some things that were difficult to say, so he didn't ask.

But Lu Wushuang next to her couldn't help it, she didn't dare to ask Huang Rong if there was anything unspeakable, but she dared to ask Li Xiang: "Brother Li, since you said so, you have thought of other ways?" Then you can listen to it, is there any way to not only defend Xiangyang, but also protect Guo Daxia's family? ”

Li Xiang shrugged his shoulders and said: "The method is actually very simple, the next strategy is to enter the court as an official, gain the trust of the emperor, and then lead an army alone, and the northern imperial Hulu." ”

Without waiting for Lu Wushuang to speak, Yang Guo shook his head and said: "This plan is not appropriate, the current Great Song Dynasty court, the monarch is faint and the ministers, and he has always been very suspicious of the generals who lead the army, even a figure like Yue Wumu will inevitably die in the Fengbo Pavilion, and Uncle Guo will not be an exception." ”

Li Xiang said with a smile: "If Guo Daxia is willing to become an official, is it true that everything is in accordance with the rules of officialdom, and he is intriguing with those faint kings and ministers?" Of course, it is to use the means of our Jianghu people, use poison, soul transfer method, or other secret methods to control some favored ministers, and let them say good things for Guo Daxia? It would be safer to even control the emperor altogether. ”

Yang Guo still shook his head and said, "Whether it is poison or other secret methods, it is very difficult to control a person for a long time. And any poison, secret method has a solution, the Great Song Dynasty Zhao has been established for nearly three hundred years, I don't know how many strange people and strange people are hidden in the Great Interior, if someone knows the solution, Uncle Guo will be wanted by the imperial court, let alone be an official to lead the army, even now to help guard Xiangyang. ”

Li Xiang nodded and said: "I also thought of this, so I said that it was the next policy, and it has not many benefits, but it has many disadvantages." ”

Lu Wushuang was happy to hear this, and continued to ask: "Since there is a lower strategy, there must be a middle strategy and an upper strategy, Brother Li, you can say it quickly!" ”

Li Xiang had a good impression of this lively and hearty girl, and continued without hesitation: "Zhongce, that is, he still has a name in the imperial court, and on the surface he is attached to the Great Song Dynasty, but in fact, he is self-reliant, occupies a piece of territory, and makes his own decisions about everything. Lin'an's orders, if you want to listen to them, you can listen to them, and if you don't want to listen to them, you will think they are farting. In this way, there is no need to worry about the hidden arrows from the imperial court, even if the emperor is suspicious, there is nothing to be done. ”

Yang Guo came out as usual and said: "This plan seems to be safe, but it is useless. Not to mention that it is not so easy to divide one side, even if Uncle Guo can divide one side, how much territory does it need to have enough soldiers, taxes, armor, money and food to resist the Mongol army? In addition to being able to make his own decisions, it is not as good as the current Xiangyang, at least Xiangyang can get the assistance of the money and soldiers of the Lin'an Imperial Court. ”

Li Xiang said with a smile: "That's right, so there is a good strategy, that is, on the basis of the middle policy, simply change the dynasty!" Kick the faint monarch in Lin'an off the throne, Guo Daxia himself as the emperor, and then use the power of the whole country to go on a northern expedition, drive out the Tartars, and restore the Central Plains! ”

This time it was Yang Guo's turn to smile bitterly, lowered his head and stopped talking. But Lu Wushuang didn't agree, shook Yang Guo's one-arm and said, "Brother Yang, why didn't you say it?" Refute him! ”

Cheng Ying, who had been very quiet, patted Lu Wushuang and said, "Don't make trouble with Brother Yang, can't you even think of this?" The best strategy is good, but it is the least feasible. ”

Lu Wushuang was puzzled: "Why? I think it's a good plan! With Guo Daxia's prestige, it is easy to pull up a large army to change the dynasty, why is it not feasible? ”

Cheng Ying glanced at Huang Rong and sighed softly: "If it's not feasible, it's not feasible, Guo Daxia is not that kind of person!" ”

At this time, Huang Rong finally spoke: "Brother Jing, the person he respects the most in his life is Yue Wumu, and he has always acted with Yue Wumu as a model, how can he do that transgression?" Yue Wumu knew that the emperor would poison him if he returned, but he still left the army behind and returned to the recall, and finally died in Fengbo Pavilion. The same is true of Brother Jing, he would rather die in Xiangyang with his whole family than rebel. ”

This time, even Lu Wushuang understood why Huang Rong's smile was so bitter. Falling in love with such a man, the hero is a hero, and the scenery is beautiful, but who knows the suffering? Huang Rong herself was willing to accompany Guo Jing to die, but she didn't want her children to die together, but she had no choice but to do her best to resist the attack of the Mongol army.
